This gives a flavour of the reach, determined and well funded backing the fossil lobbyists have. They send out an average of 2 to 3,000 ‘reports’ every month, these are then cut and pasted into the papers and hey presto. Another avalanche of bullshit for the extreme right to smash in our faces.

I note the deafening silence from the rioters who claim to be “protecting the women/girls” over the conviction for child sex offences of the Unionist politician, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson.

I have a Belgian cousin. I’m putting all my hope into some miracle there just for the family bragging rights.

Threatening to kill negotiators is exactly the kind of thing that weak, insecure people think is strong.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Los Angeles media following Spencer Pratt closely to see if he will keep his promise to leave Los Angeles if he loses

I asked a couple dads at school if they knew our government was killing off basic science. They hadn't heard a thing It's a crime against journalism that the NZ press isn't all over the dissolution of the Marsden Fund, and a crime against academia that our universities aren't yelling to the rafters

Men are too emotional to be president.

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.
